Tods has Leo, the new symbolic accessory for men’s shoes for Milan showcasing. A metal component incorporates the traditional techniques of hot metal-casting. Marlin takes a more urban approach, incorporating a polished edge, enriching the celebrated rubber sole.

Easy urban highlights the craftsmanship that characterizes the quality a protagonist in these five models, ranging from the classic lace-up to the moccasin; rubber and fine leather overlap for a new sport style sole.

The Gucci Men’s Spring Summer 2016 inspiration Détournement show took place at Via Valtellina, 7 Milan. Détournement is a kind of game that puts decontextualized fragments back into circulation – objects found by chance and torn away from their history, pre-existing entities that lose their original meaning. It can also be understood as an aesthetic practice that reconvenes dispersed fragments within a whole new meaning.

The Men’s Spring Summer Collection moves precisely in this direction. Each ensemble is constructed through combinations and juxtapositions of memories projected against a new poetic horizon with entirely fresh meanings. Shapes, embellishments, details and techniques come together in a novel pattern, giving rise to shifts in perception.

Détournement is also, and above all, a political device. Its strength lies in the possibility of transgressing what alreadyexists and offering glimpses of new possibilities of freedom and emancipation. It is a path that, in finding “the right sense of anachrony” ( J. Derrida), is capable of establishing a new connection between the store of remembrances and that of dreams – and of reassociating, in new forms, the reservoirs of memory with the glimmers of imagination that urge us into the future.
